As we approach the new year, I humbly suggest you quit email (to the extent you can).
“I suggest you let it all go. There is simply no way for anyone with a full-time job and multiple inboxes to keep up with the current email climate.” https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/01/case-inbox-infinity/579673/
@taylorlorenz As a subordinate, our company policies require management approval for some actions. I have discovered that phrasing my emails as "before close of business tomorrow I intend to close Non-confirmance Report x with y response unless you would like me to await further instructions." It is sufficient cya phrasing that legal is sort of ok with that also doesn't actually require a response from my very busy and email overloaded boss.
